Mobile car washing of rental car agencies has radically changed since 911. The entire industry dynamics had changed. Many things are back to near normal, but for many years that industry sector was in a recession and profit margins were down and rental car agencies and sales lots were looking at ways to cut and down size.
During that time our company was able to capitalize on this sector as the low priced leader and really find our biggest opportunity. You see by using our team to streamline their operations we easily got the lion’s share of the outsourced work available in this rental car agency sub-sector in the areas we serviced. Any mobile car wash company can easily pick up this type of work when these industries are in hardship and looking to cut costs and it is advisable that while fuel prices are high for mobile car wash owners to get such clientele. At $4.00 per gallon gasoline prices the rental car industry is under severe stress making it ripe to be open to outsourcing their washing needs.
After 911 rental car industries were also under stress and at the time we noticed that one of our largest organized competitors in the rental car industry was Service Master who predominantly worked in airport rental car agencies doing detailing, washing and dent repair. They only serviced a few airports in Florida, Hawaii, Georgia, Illinois and Minnesota. But what this shows is that the business clientele must be profitable otherwise you would not see the big boys going after this work. Consider all this in 2006.
